Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Unironically making a comparison between Katie Porter and the KKK is the most terminally online shit I've seen this year
Your mistake here is to not know or understand what the word "comparison" is.
The most terminally online shit that I've seen this year is you inferring that because two nouns are used in the same sentence then they must be equal. Learn what critical thinking is, and then apply what you've learned. I'll help you later on down the road, I promise.
Israel v. Palestine isn't an entire population of terrorists vs the very innocent Israel whose never done anything wrong in their entire lives, ever. It's a modern genocide. We know that. There are dozens of independent governing bodies who've made this distinction. And I'm sorry if it hurts your sensibilities that I can't advocate for someone who says "maybe we should just drop it! let bygones be bygones!" as if Israel skinned Palestine's knee and isn't actively murdering children and calling them agents of Hamas to legitimize it.
If your brain is that deteriorated, then that's perfectly fine. You're entitled to your vote. But mine isn't, and so am I--and I won't give it to someone who says some insane shit like that.
Please go outside
